13 Claims. 1

My present invention comprises a novel Venetian blind bracket of thetype adapted for supporting Venetian blind structure at either endthereof for mounting adjacent to a window.

A primary object of my invention is to provide such Venetian blindsupporting brackets with attachable Venetian blind head rail supportingmeans, whereby the said head rail supporting means may be fabricated asa unit separate from the main Venetian blind supporting member andreadily attached thereto in either permanent or detachable relation. I

Another object of my invention is to provide curtain rod supportingmeans forsuch Venetian blind supporting brackets wherein the saidcurtain rod supporting means is fabricated as a unit separate from themain supporting bracket and is attachable in a novel manner to the headrail supporting means in either permanent or detachable relationthereto.

Another object of my invention is to provide such a, Venetian blindsupporting bracket having a head rail stop member formed integrallytherewith but detachable therefrom, said head rail stop member beingdetachably cooperable with the head rail supporting means forpositioning the Venetian blind head rail thereon.

Still another object of my invention is to provide such a Venetian blindsupporting bracket with an attachable facia board supporting member orclip which is constructed in a novel manner and attachably cooperablewith the .main Venetian blind supporting bracket in a novel manner.

In the installation of Venetian blinds it is quite common to provide abracket member at each end of the blind, which brackets are directlymounted toadjacent portions of the window frame or other frame structureadjacent which the Venetian blind is to be located. These bracketsinclude means for supporting the head rail of the Venetian blind, and inmany instances also include a carrier .or support for a facia board orvalance. These brackets also commonly include head rail supporting meansformed integrally with the main supporting bracket, or formed separatelyand then welded or otherwise permanently secured to the main bracket.

My present invention contemplates the provision of head rail supportingmeans formed separately and attachable to the main bracket without theuse of special tools. A special object of the invention is the provisionof head rail supporting means having provisions for attachment theretoof curtain rod supporting means or a head 'detachably secured rail stopmember, likewise without use of special tools. l

A general object of the invention is to effect economies in manufactureand also in merchants inventory by providing head rail supporting meansthat is interchangeably attachable to various styles of main bracketsand by making provision for alternative use with said headrailsupporting means and said main bracket of various accessories.

Other objects, advantages, and features of this invention will appearfrom the following detail description taken in conjunction with theaccompanying drawings, in'which:

The accompanying drawings illustrate the embodiment of my invention inconjunction with a Venetian blind supporting bracket having a pivoted ormovable front facia supporting member or clip.

Now referring more specifically to the drawings the main Venetian blindsupporting bracket member generally designated by the numeral Icomprises a main body portion 2 having a rear flange member 3ofistanding inwardly from the main body portion 2 at substantially aright angle thereto. A facia board supporting member generallydesignated by the numeral 4 has a main body portion 5 having anoffstanding front flange portion at the front edge thereof offstandinginwardly at substantially a right angle to the main body portion 5 ofthe facia holder 4, the front flange portion being designated 6. Thefacia carrier or holder 4 is also provided with rear flange portions Iand 8 at the top and bottom thereof spaced rearwardly from the frontflange portion 6" and disposed at substantially right angles to the mainbody portion 5. The facia holder 4 also includes a bottom or supportingflange 5 likewise disposed at substantially right angles to the bodyportion 5. The facia holder 4 is an integral member with the flangeportions 6, I-, 8 and 9 formed integrally with the main body portion 5,the flange 9 being a downward extension of the body portion 5 and bentat right angles thereto, and the flange portion 8 being a rearwardextension of the flange portion 9 and bent at right angles thereto. Thebody portion 5 of the facia holder includes a rearwardly extendingportion 5a extending rearwardly of the flange portions 7 and 8 and thefacia holder 5 is pivoted to the main body portion 2 of the supportingbracket I by means of a pivot pin I passing through the rearwardextension a of the facia holder.

In the closed position of the facia holder 4, shown in Figure 1 andFigure 3, the rearward extension 5a lies against the inner side of themain body portion 2 of the supporting bracket I, the flange portions Iand 8 are disposed adjacent the front edge of said body portion 2 andthe flange portion 6 is disposed somewhat forwardly of the front edge ofthe body portion 2 of the main supporting bracket I. I

Cooperating locking means are provided on the facia holder 4 and themain body portion 2 of the supporting bracket I, said locking meanscomprising an outstruck projection It on the rearward extension 5a ofthe facia holder intended to cooperate with a dimple oraperture I2provided in the body portion 2 of the main supporting bracket I. Tofacilitate the closing action of the facia holder, in reference toengagement of the projection II with the main body portion 2 of the mainsupporting bracket I, the latter is provided with a flared depression I3leading from the front edge of the same toward the opening or dimple I2and flared outwardly toward the front edge of the body portion 2, sothat in closing of the facia holder the projection H engages smoothlywith the depression portion I3.

The rearward extension 5a of the facia holder 4 is strengthened by theprovision of a longitudinal rib Ma.

The Venetian blind head rail or head bar supporting means comprises anintegral member fabricated separately from the main supporting bracketI, the head rail supporting means being generally designated I4 and seenbest in Figures 3, 5, 6, '7, and 8. This integral or unitary head railsupporting means is pressed out of a single piece of metal and comprisesa generally vertically disposed main bracket engaging portion I5 and agenerally horizontally disposed shelf or head rail supporting portionIS, the shelf portion I6 being bent at substantially right angles to theportion I5 in the forming operation. At the upper or free edge of thebracket engaging portion I5 the same is provided with hook portions I5aI 5?), and I50 which are adapted to engage over the upper edge of themain body 2 of the bracket member I, as seen best in Figures 5 and 8,for supporting the member I4 upon the bracket member I. Cooperatinglocking means are provided on the member I4 and the main bracket memberI for locking the member I4 in proper position on the bracket member I.Said latter locking means comprise the locking member or projection IIbent inwardly from the bracket engaging portion I5 adjacent the rearedge thereof "and adapted to interlockingly cooperate with a lockingmember or lug I8 bent inwardly from the rear'flange 3 of the mainbracket I. This locking lug I8 extends from the rear flange 3 at anacute angle to the plane of the main body portion 2 and the lug I8 has adownwardly extending portion 18a formed by cutting away the metalrearwardly thereof between the same and the flange 3,

Thus, when it is desired to attach the head rail supporting member I4 tothe main bracket I, the hook portions I5a, I51), and I50 are engagedover the upper edge of the body portion 2 of the main bracket I in themanner shown by Figures 3, 5, 6, and 8, but with the member I4 disposedforwardly of the position there shown. When the hook portions of themember I 4 are engaged over the upper edge of the body 2, the member I4is then slid rearwardly t0 the position shown in Figures 3 and 6 in thecourse of which operation the locking member or projection I1 willengage and press inwardly the portion I; of the locking lug l8 until themember I! passes rearwardly of the portion I8 and is locked therebehindwhen the member I4 is finally positioned as in Figures 3 and 6 due tothe spring action of the metal of the lug I8 which tends to restore thelatter to its original position slightly farther toward the main body 2than the extreme inner edge of the projection 17, upon the slight inwardpressure of the member I'I exerted upon the portion I8a of the lug I8,being relieved after projection I'I passes behind the portion I8aIntermediate the hook portions I5a, I51), and I50, the member I4 may beprovided with inwardly pressed portions I9 and I9a spaced inwardly fromthe body portion 2 of the main bracket and from the plane of the bracketengaging portions of the member I4. These inwardly pressed portions I9and I9a are provided for cooperation with the legs of an attachableceiling bracket as disclosed in my copending application Serial No.22,438 filed April 21, 1948 for Venetian blind bracket and top mountingmeans therefor or for cooperation with the legs of an attachableextension bracket member as disclosed in my copending application SerialNo. 22,439, filed April 21, 1948, for Venetian blind bracket andextension mounting means therefor.

The attachable head rail supporting means I4 of my invention may beprovided with one or more apertures 20 for registry with similarapertures 2| provided in the main bracket member I for receiving screwsor like fastening means for securing the bracket member to a windowframe or the like upon which the Venetian blind unit as a whole is to besupported. The shelf portion I6 of the member I4 is likewise providedwith apertures 22 for receiving screws or like fastening means adaptedto secure the head rail of a Venetian blind to the head rail supportingmeans I4.

Shelf portion I6 is also provided with a struck up short projection 23adapted to initially position the Venetian blind head rail in supportingengagement with the shelf portion I6. When the bracket assembly has beenmounted in place to the window frame, the Venetian blind head rail islaid in place on the shelf I6 supported thereby and the projection 23caused to penetrate the wood of the head rail for initial positioning ofthe head rail on the shelf member I6, after which the head rail may bepermanently secured to the shelf I6 by means of screws inserted throughthe apertures 22 screwed into the head rail.

Under some conditions, it is desirable to utilize, in conjunction withthe bracket assembly shown in'Figure 3, a curtain rod holding means, andfor this purpose I provide an attachable curtain rod holding membergenerally designated 24 and shown in Figure 6. The member 24 comprises ahook portion 25 adapted to receive the curtain rod, and the member 24comprises a shelf engaging portion 26 adapted to engage the underside ofthe shelf I6 when mounted on the main bracket as shown in Figures 6 and8, said shelf engaging portion 26 having attaching lugs 21 and 28. Theshelf I6 is provided with cut out portions including the square aperture29 approximately centrally thereof and the cut outs 34 and 30a atopposite ends of the shelf. In attaching the curtain rod holder 24 tothe shelf I6, the portion 26 is engaged with the underside of the shelfI6 and the lug 28 is inserted through the central aperture 29 and bentover the edge of the adjacent metal as shown in Figure 6. The attachinglug 21 is disposed in one of the grooves 30 or 30a and then bent overthe upper edge of the shelf I6 as shown in Figure 6.

It will be noted that the member I4 is made universal so that it can beattached to either right or left hand main brackets such as I, it beingunderstood that for every Venetian blind installation there will beprovided two' of the brackets I at either end of the blind and thesebrackets will be identical except that they are reversed as to thepivotal mounting of the facia carrier 4. Therefore, the member I4 hasbeen provided with a locking member I1 identical with the lockingprojection I? but at the opposite end of the member I4 so that when themember I4 is used with the other bracket of the pair of brackets, theprojection I'I' will interlockingly cooperate with the lug I8 of theother bracket. It is for the same reason that the cut outs 30 and 30ahave been provided at opposite ends of the shelf I6 so that the lug 21of the curtain rod holder will cooperate with one or the other of thecut outs 30 or 30a, depending on whether the member I4 is used with aright or left hand bracket.

Now it is believed that the manner of use of the construction of myinvention will be understood from the foregoing, but the same may bebriefly summarized as follows: The head rail supporting means will bemounted on the bracket I in the manner previously described and thelocking projection I! caused to engage behind the locking lug I 8. Thiswill produce a very firm attachment of the member I4 to the bracket Iyet permit of removal of the member I4 if desired by forcing the memberI4 forwardly of the bracket I to release the interlocking engagement ofthe members I1 and I8. If desired, the member I4 may be more permanentlysecured to the bracket I by pressing the lug I8 toward the member I4 orthe portion I5 thereof after the projection ll is engaged behind the lugI8 as shown in Figure 3, this being permitted by the resiliency of themetal of the bracket I from which the lug I8 is formed. If it is desiredto utilize the curtain rod holder 24, the same will be attached in themanner above described to the shelf portion I6 of the member I4 ateither the right or left side thereof, depending upon whether thebracket I is a right or left hand bracket. In the drawings the bracket Iis shown to be a left hand bracket.

When the Venetian blind head rail has been mounted upon the shelfportion I6 of the right and left hand bracket assemblies typified byFigure 3, these assemblies having previously been mounted to the windowframe, the valance or facia carriers 4 will be disposed outwardly orforwardly of the window, and upon being swung downwardly around thepivots III, the facia board may be inserted between the front flange 6and the rear flanges I and 8, after which the facia carriers will beswung to closed position as shown in Figures 1 and 3 and locked in suchposition by coaction-of the locking means II and I2.

It will be noted that while the bracket I illustrated in the drawing isarranged for use as a left hand bracket, the same is adapted to be usedas a right hand bracket, in which event the member I4 would be attachedthereto by causing th hook portions I501, I51), I50 to engage over thelower edge of the main body 2 and the locking projection I'I caused toengage behind the portion IBa' of the looking lug I8, which, similarlyto the lug I8 is struck out from the rear flange 3 of the bracket I.Also, when the bracket I is to be used as a right hand bracket, areversely formed facia carrier will be used and pivoted adjacent theupper left hand corner of bracket I with the dimple or opening I Idisposed adjacent the lower left hand corner thereof, as viewed inFigures 1, 3, or 6.

Now referring to Figures 9, 13, and 14, there is illustrated a modifiedform of curtain rod holder 3| having a hook portion 32 for receiving thecurtain rod, and having ashelf engaging portion 33 engaging the underside of the shelf I6 of the modified form of head rail supporting meansI4 illustrated in Figure 9. As seen best in Figures 9 and 13, themodified form of head rail supporting means I4 has a forwardly extendingportion 34 that includes a depression 35 extending laterally of theshelf portion IB and a communicating demes iah .6 ex en n ongi u i lr mt e depression 35 to the extreme end of the shelf portion 16' forwardlythereof. The curtain rod holder 35 includes a T-shaped attaching memberhaving the shank portion 31 and the wings 38, the shank portion 31 beingflexibly formed on the curtain rod supporting member providing a sort ofhook adapted to engage over the forward edge of the portion 34 of theshelf [6' with the shank 31 lying in depression 36 and the wings 38lying in the lateral depression 35. In attachment of the curtain rodsupporting member (H to the shelf E6 the attaching member comprising theportions 3'! and 38 being resilient or flexible is pressed down into thedepressions 35 and 36 so that the metal of the shelf member forming thesides of the depressions serves to lock the wings 38 and preventdetachment of the supporting member 3| from the shelf l6.

Referring now to Figures and 12 particularly, there is shown a head railstop member generally indicated by the numeral 39 which may bedetachably secured to the shelf member l6 as shown in Figure 10 in lieuof the curtain rod supporting member 3! to serve as a stop limiting theforward movement of the head rail when resting upon the shelf member 16.This head rail stop member 39 as shown in Figures 9 and is originallyformed integrally with the rear flange 3 of the main bracket 4, the saidrear flange 3 being coined or scored as at 40 for frangibly detachingthe member 39 from said rear flange 3. The member 39 is generally ofright angular formation provided with shelf en gaging portion 4| adaptedto engage the under side of shelf (5' and equipped with a projection .42adapted to engage behind the rib formed by the lateral depressitm 35 inthe shelf member 46, as shown in Figure 10. The member 39 is alsoequipped with a resilient or flexible tongue member 43 adapted to engageover the upper surface of the shelf member 16 for supporting the member39 thereon. It will be understood that the head rail stop member 39 isslipped on to the shelf Hi from the front end thereof and movedrearwardly until the projection 42 engages behind the rib as shown inFigure 10, the resilient tongue member 43 providing a sort ofsnap-locking action in conjunction with the projection 42. The uprightvertical portion 14 of the member 39 thereupon serves to provide a guardor abutment for limiting forward movement of the head rail of theVenetian blind supported upon the shelf member l6.

Now referring to Figures 10 and 11, there is shown in the latter figurea pair of rear facia supporting members formed as an integral unit, themetal being separated and scored as at A5 and 45a to form a line ofseparation between the two rear facia supporting members 46 and 41forming the unit designated as a whole by the numeral 48.

In the use of Venetian blind brackets of the type herein disclosed,under various conditions it is sometimes desired to utilize one or moreof the various accessories including the curtain rod supporting member3!, the head rail stop member 39, and the rear facia supporting members4B and 41. Since the rear facia supporting members have to be formeddifferently depending upon whether they are to be used on a right handbracket or a left hand bracket, it has been found that it is mostpractical to supply both right and left hand rear facia members. It iseryadvaatasccus thereicrei to. supply thes 8 members, as shown in Figure11 as an initial integral unit so that there is certain to be alwaysboth right and left hand members supplied.

In practical use the members 46 and 4! are separated by breaking themapart along the coin or score line 45a by the user when he is ready tomake a particular installation requiring one or the other of saidmembers 46 or 47. These members are each provided with a T-shapedattaching member 46a or 41a and the main bracket members I are providedwith a keyhole slot 49 through which the attaching member 48 may beinserted forattaching the rear facia member 48 or ll to the main bracketI as shown in Figure 10, said figure showing the member 41 which is foruse with a left hand bracket, attached, as above described.

These rear facia members 46 and M each have a front vertical portion 50and a bottom facia supporting portion 5! and a side wall 52 engaging thebody of the main bracket I when the member 46 or H is secured thereto asshown in Figure 10.
